Lyrics
Coffee and Danish

Well I took a train when I was 18
Headed up to Memphis
The lights, the sounds, forgotten backgrounds
It lit up all my senses
I met a girl my first night there
A little young and a little square
She offered me coffee and a danish
I found a job singing my songs
Headed up the ladder
The clubs, the booze, forgetting who?s who
It didn?t seem to matter
I remembered the girl my first night there
A little young and a little square
She offered me coffee and a danish
Time passed by I left that town
Headed up to nowhere
There was no lights there were no sounds
I said I?m gone forever
I remembered the girl my first night there
A little young and a little square
She offered me coffee and a danish
I went back down to that old place
Looking for my memory
The lights, the sounds, forgotten backgrounds
I took in all the scenery
The girl I met was standing there
Not so young and not so square
She offered me coffee and a danish
She was the girl my first night there
A little young and a little square
She offered me coffee and a danish
